Market Trends

Current trends in the Pharmacy Dispensing Bags market highlight the growing shift toward eco-friendly packaging and consumer-centric solutions. Paper-based dispensing bags are increasingly preferred for their biodegradability, while innovations in digital printing allow pharmacies to offer personalized and branded packaging.
